If Gina has $90 and pays:
$20 for beginning
$5 per hour
Then 90 - 20 is 70. 70 divided by 5 is 14.
She can rent a surfboard to surf for 14 hours.
Width =3.5, length = 4
Let's make a few equations to summarize what we know.:
a = 14
l = 2w -3
a = wl
Now let's substitute the expression for l into the expression for area and solve.
a = w(2w - 3)
a = 2w^2 - 3w
14 = 2w^2 - 3w
0 = 2w^2 - 3w - 14
which factors into
(2w - 7) (w + 2)
Solving for w
2w - 7 = 0
2w = 7
w = 3.5
w+2 = 0
w = -2
So w can be either 3.5 or -2. Since a negative width doesn't make sense, w = 3.5
Let's verify
w = 3.5
l = 2w - 3
l = 2*3.5 - 3
l = 7 - 3
l = 4
a = wl
a = 3.5 * 4
a = 14
So the width is 3.5 and the length is 4.
Answer:
C, He will need 20.1 inches of bracing
Step-by-step explanation:
This is can be found using Pythagorean Theorem and multiplying the quantity by 3
We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.
$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card
Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation.
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.
We can now solve the equation:
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24
Our solution is: x = 27.
-----
An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.
$20 - $13.52 = $6.48
So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.
6.48 ÷ 24 = 27
We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.
